It makes me laugh when I see a hotel like this getting a 3.5 average from Yelpers. This is a very nice hotel. We rarely venture away from Encore but devided to give the other end of the strip a try. We were very happy with what we found.
Pros:
-big rooms with modern decor
-very convenient valet/uber area with a short walk to hotel elevators
-lots of pool areas to choose from
-sexy lobby area with good activity
-tech/tv worked very well
-honored everything with Amex Platinum
Cons:
-restaurants in hotel werent that great; but there is lots to chose from at nearby Mandalay
